The U.S. lags other countries when it comes to life expectancy and the number of years of good health a person can expect.
Life expectancy in the U.S. has risen steadily over the past century. In 1900, people could only expect to live to age 47, but by 1950, life expectancy had risen to 68 years. By 2019 it had risen to over 78 years, before dropping somewhat during the pandemic to 76.4, to put the U.S. at 40th place globally.
“That means there’s a lot of 60-, 70-, 80-, 90-year-olds who are in pain. We have a particularly unhealthy population,” Dychtwald said. The U.S. will soon have 100 million people over the age of 65, he noted. “That’s a lot of older people living in a world of hurt,” he said. He also said that the U.S. has systemic problems that must be addressed.
